Ternary Diophantine Equations via Galois Representations and Modular Forms
In this paper, we develop techniques for solving ternary Diophantine equations of the shape Axn + Byn = Cz2 , based upon the theory of Galois representations and modular forms. We subsequently utilize these methods to completely solve such equations for various choices of the parameters A, B and C . We conclude with an application of our results to certain classical polynomial-exponential equat...
متن کاملModular Forms and Diophantine Questions
This article discusses many of the topics that I touched on during my Public Lecture at the National University of Singapore and my Lecture to Schools at Victoria Junior College. During the former lecture, I spoke in broad terms about the history of Fermat’s Last Theorem and about the connection between Fermat’s Last Theorem, and the conjecture—now a theorem!—to the effect that elliptic curves ...
متن کاملThe Modular Approach to Diophantine Equations
The aim of these notes is to communicate Ribet’s Level–Lowering Theorem and related ideas in an explicit and simplified (but hopefully still precise) way, and to explain how these ideas are used to derive information about solutions to Diophantine equations.
متن کاملInteger-Valued Quadratic Forms and Quadratic Diophantine Equations
We investigate several topics on a quadratic form Φ over an algebraic number field including the following three: (A) an equation ξΦ · ξ = Ψ for another form Ψ of a smaller size; (B) classification of Φ over the ring of algebraic integers; (C) ternary forms. In (A) we show that the “class” of such a ξ determines a “class” in the orthogonal group of a form Θ such that Φ ≈ Ψ ⊕Θ. Such was done in ...
متن کاملDiophantine approximation and Diophantine equations
The first course is devoted to the basic setup of Diophantine approximation: we start with rational approximation to a single real number. Firstly, positive results tell us that a real number x has “good” rational approximation p/q, where “good” is when one compares |x − p/q| and q. We discuss Dirichlet’s result in 1842 (see [6] Course N◦2 §2.1) and the Markoff–Lagrange spectrum ([6] Course N◦1...
